headache. Having tried numberess so-caIled
remedies, and physicians of all schools, without
relief, there seems TO be no hope. Many such
have, as last resort tried Athl0phoros. and to
their surprise and joy have found that it was
safe, sure and quick cure Athlophoros is not an
experiment; thousands have been cured by its
use and they testify as to its value.

Hearing from so many different people words OF
praise for Athlophoros, l bought and used two
bottles from the first bottle / received gep1ine
benefit. my rheumatism improved SC mucn the
neighbors began TO ask me (when they saw me
moving around as though | badat rheumatlsm)
what became of my rheumatism, and l simply
said, am using Athlophoros, and that's enough,
the name of that medicine means rheumatism
